Return to Work as Usual

It took the plane three hours to get from Simferopol Airport to St. Petersburg Airport, one that would normally take 25 hours if Alexander took a train. Anya was sleeping soundly on his chest, her breathing even and peaceful for a few minutes before she started to squirm in her sleep. Her brows were furrowed in discomfort and she opened her eyes slowly, blinking away sleep as they adjusted to the brightness of the light streaming through the windows. 

"Papa?" She murmured, looking at him with sleepy, curious eyes. "Are we here?"

"Yes, Anya, we're here," He replied quietly, gently stroking her back. The young girl relaxed once again, burrowing her head under his chin and snuggling closer to him. Alexander smiled at her, his heart fluttering slightly at the cuteness of his daughter. 

Sophie got up from her seat and walked over to the two who were having a father-daughter moment.
